My computer is doing far worse after upgrading my cpu to a ryzen 1600, motherboard to tomahawk b350. and 2x8 16gb of ddr4 3000MHz ram. please help, i have no idea what is wrong. Also i dont know if it is important, but i was getting a blue screen with a AODDriver2.sys error.

Previous parts: case, cpu, motherboard, ram, psu replaced.
- Asus micro atx ddr3 2400 NA motherboard a68hm-k - Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL9 1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory (BLS8G3D1609DS1S00) - Cooler Master Elite 342 RC-342-KKRJ-GP 400W Mini Tower Case (Black) - AMD Athlon X4 860K with 95W Thermal Solution 3.7 4 Socket FM2+ AD860KXBJASBX - MSI GAMING 1050ti 4gb single fan
 


Please clarify:
1. clean install of Windows 10 64-bit
2. installed the NVIDIA drivers
3. monitor is attached to video card (not motherboard)
 
Weird. OK...

0) run MEMTEST86 if you've not done so. www.memtest86.com
- full pass or until errors
- you can type "memory" into Windows search and run the Windows Memory Diagnostic for an hour (or until errors) too but I prefer Memtest86

1) CPU - open Task Manager (TM->Performance->CPU) so we can confirm all TWELVE THREADS are functioning. Right-click and change from one graph to all if that's how it's setup.

Run Prime95 so we can see if all twelve threads get used, and note the FREQUENCY. Probably 3.8GHz or so? (not sure exactly but as long as it's close).

2) System memory - in TM just make sure there is 16GB detected. You'd probably use about 3GB or so on a fresh boot.

3) GPU - run Unigine VALLEY or HEAVEN, and while it's running also have MSI Afterburner or another utility that can display the GPU frequency.

Your GPU frequency should be high (1800MHz+?).

SCORE should be similar to this (use EXACT same settings): https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/gigabyte_gtx_1050_ti_oc_review,10.html

1920x1080, ULTRA, 8xMSAA-> score should be roughly:
1,700
(I don't think the CPU will affect this much)

4) run 3DMark2001 default benchmark:
https://www.futuremark.com/benchmarks/legacy

I just happen to know that the score should be at least this:
70,000

(I got close to that on my GTX680. It oddly doesn't scale, but the GTX1050Ti is only a little faster so it should be in the ballpark)
 
Everything seems to point to the NVIDIA drivers not being installed, even though they supposedly are.

(the only other option is that the GTX1050Ti is stuck at a low frequency but you can VERIFY that by checking the GPU frequency with MSI Afterburner during a benchmark.)

Is there a Green/Black icon in the lower right of the screen that you can right-click?

That may link to GeForce Experience, and the NVidia Control Panel. Make sure you have access to the NVidia Control Panel.

OTHER:
You can also check Device Manager. Right-click W10 Start Menu then that.

- under Display Adapter make sure it says GTX1050Ti
- now right-click the GTX1050Ti -> properties-> driver

- *it should say NVidia is the provider and the date should be in the last three months
 
??

So... problem solved?

You gave a best answer for no obvious reason, and then gave subsequent posts that indicate that the issue is still going on. If things are fixed it's nice to give some closure to those that helped and those who stumble across this post so they may benefit from the solution.
